When the Kids come home!
It is that time of year again, the rain is finally falling from the sky and rivers are staring to rise. This means two things here Jon will soon arrive to outfit his boat and Mike will have to start repairing fixing / welding lots of broken old boat’s, Oh and at last we can go for a good paddle.
Outfitting sorted! Off to Hurley.
So on Sunday Hurley was on a great 3 gates, a strange layout as it was on the 3 next to the wall which made the middle wave gate slightly more piley but still with some nice green shoulders. Popping back down today I expected the same sort of level, only to find the water had dropped substantially and Hurley was back down to 2 gates. No grumbles as we slid down the steps and made the best of a good level, with a big green right shoulder, pan am's, donkey flips and clean blunts we all making an appearance.
With the 3rd selection event looming on the horizon I did feel quite guilty just using the wave gate and not even having one ride in the hole, but with way water levels are looking I have heard it said that the weekends event may not run.
Updates on the event and wether it will run will be posted on tvfreestylers
Jon
In the mean time it's back to repairing broken boats, drinking tea & spending many hours looking at BBC Weather & Met Check. Where to paddle next?
